After years of back and forth, USPS has finally put its new electric "NGDV" trucks into service, and drivers say they love the new trucks.

    Do they love them because they’re electric or because they finally got a new truck?

        Airbags, Anti lock Brakes, and hopefully leg room are probably bonuses too.

          You should be aware by now that that’s a pretty notable slur.

            Actually, I didn’t know. Never heard it used in an offensive context before today. But I’ll edit my comment just the same.

          Dude, a break is something you take between shifts. A brake is something that slows you down. They’re not the same word.

      Instantaneous torque, I’m sure offers dramatic improvement over the previous ICE trucks.

      Not only do [the old trucks] only get 9 miles per gallon, they’re also noisy, smelly (I have to close my window every day when the mail truck comes around), have no air conditioning, hard to stand up in, and their only safety feature is mirrors that constantly fall out of alignment. AP also points out that nearly 100 LLVs caught fire last year – a common event when it comes to internal combustion vehicles.
